PLANNING TASK 3: Models

FIRST MODEL:

For my magazine, I have contacted a friend of mines who I think would be best for being the artist for the magazine. Below is a screenshot of contacting my model through "Whatsapp"-message. 

Her name is Daria, I think she will be suitable for the variety of genres I will be testing such as the rock/pop/country genres. For the rock genre, she will be most suitable for due to her having an interest in rock music, therefore her outfits and props would work well on her as she has a broad range of clothing that goes under this theme. Also she has blonde hair that is very slick straight making it easy to work with and change into different styles. And she also has a  "baby" face, therefore the pop theme would look great on her due to her height and expressions. This would enhance the feminist look, making it very appropriate for the pop genre. Another reason why I thought it would be best for her to be the model is because she lives two minutes away from my house, therefore it would be easier to bring the props/costume and also meaning that the images can be taken in the evening as well, giving a variety of lighting.

SECOND MODEL:

For my magazine I have decided to also have my brother as one of the models, this was not originally planned as I had thought I would have one model but when I first got the camera, I wanted to test the quality and so I told my brother to stand at the front, he started doing random poses and I thought I could also use him as one of the artists. And so I decided a date of when we can have a photo shoot, I had contacted him by "imessage" but also as we live in the same house, therefore it was easy and quick for me to contact him. Rather than waiting for a reply on messages I could let him know straightaway to any change of plans etc.

As he has an interest in R&B and rap music therefore I thought it would be best for him to portray as one of the artists. Also his hairstyle which is like a slight brush to the side which most males have as their hairstyle as it is the 'new trend'. Also his clothing matches the theme as he has a range of dark clothing therefore it would work well.
